Well I don’t feel so bad if you guys down south are having issues finding it as well.

So I’ve been using Reloader 26 in my 6.5 PRC and 270 wsm. I haven’t seen any up here in Alberta for almost 2 years. Just wondering if you guys south of the border are having as much trouble finding it.

Haven’t had any issue getting R26 up here in Alberta. It’s the only thing that works in my 270wsm. I’ve been trying it in the new 6.5 prc but so far I’m not impressed with the velocity

I emailed Nosler yesterday and they said for the 6.5 PRC .050-.070 off the lands. The test loads I did up the other day, I’m going to sink them another .025 before I try them. This should put me .063 off.

I tried imr4350, retumbo, Reloader 25, 7828ssc and H1000 in my 257wby. I get the best accuracy and velocity with H1000

I bought a box of Nosler trophy grade today with 140 accubonds. I measured a few and the factory ammo is seated to 2.864”. I then pulled one of the factory bullets. The 140 accubond bullets are .061 shorter than the LRAB. I am going to try seating the LRAB to 2.925 and give that a try.

Recently bought a new Christensen Arms Mesa and would like to shoot the 142 lrab. I seated them to 2.955” which is .010 off the lands. Tried 52-57 gr of Reloader 26 and all of the groups are about 2”. Just wondering what COL these long range accubonds like in a 6.5 prc?

I’ll bump this. Out of all the Tikkas I own the 270wsm was the worse shooting gun I owned until I tried Reloader 26. I’m getting 3230 FPS out of a stock T3x with 68gr of R26, Nosler brass, Fed 215m and 145gr ELDX

Thanks

I would like to try these bullets in my tikka 300wm. I realize i will be limited to seat the bullets to 3.340" to fit the mag. Just wondering if anyone has tried these in a stock barreled Tikka and what powder you used.

Just wondering what the max and min case trim lengths are on 7lrm

I have not shot a 28 nosler but have you taken a fired case and slipped a bullet into it. If it wont go you have too much neck tension and your throat is too tight or your brass too thick.

I put my chronograph 10' ahead of the muzzle and am only getting 3027 out of a 31" barrel

My groups open up when I hit 70.5 gr H1000 with 180 hybrids. I tried using fed 215 m primers and they do not group nearly as good as the Rem 91/2. So for now I am using 70gr H1000, Berger 180 hybrid seated to 3.43" and Rem 91/2 primers I'm getting 5 shot groups in the .4's and velocity of 3085...
